      Stoner J It could have been much better but strange choices in the writing and directing. It's definitely much more of a slow drama, than a thriller. In fact there's just a couple parts that are thrilling and the rest is super slow and kinda strange. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review allen h It will take a couple days reflection to know what I really think of the movie. images texture depth Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a lot of laughs. Drugs take over from alcohol in ‘The Art of Forgetfulness'. Well worth seeing though. Good performances all round. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member There is an underlying sense of anger throughout the film and that anger is why I loved this movie so much. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A stylish and captivating indie piece. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Serge L The story is about how relentless abuses and ignorance is fertile terrain for more abuse and ignorance while creating a drive for a mafia style mob enterprise. This is how the mafia started probably in sicily. Well, it is not brilliance for sure. Stupid mafia and stupid police go so well together. Well made film with stunted characters and/or probably psychopathic. A bit hypnotic. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/29/16 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ben Sachs Chicago Reader As a history lesson about Canada's unjust treatment of Native Americans, it's often eye-opening, but as storytelling it's clunky and highly familiar, and the period re-creation is seldom convincing. Nov 6, 2014 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Writer-director Barnaby weaves a surprising amount of tenderness into the fabric of violence, as well as a good measure of magic realism, to keep the gritty story engaging. Oct 27, 2014 Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail Barnaby puts a mythic frame around a grim history, shaping it in a way that feels always like a creative adventure, not a duty. Rated: 3/4 Jan 31, 2014 Full Review Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting Rhymes for Young Ghouls is incredibly political and confrontational; [the] genre elements help make them accessible for audiences, [it] is a passionate defense of Indigenous rights and, more importantly, a call to arms against white Canadian settlers. Jan 25, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills A potent portrait of tense relations between Red Crow Mi’kmaq on a Canadian First Nations reservation and the often needlessly cruel “Indian Affairs” agents they must submit to. Sep 12, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse There is sardonic humour and grit in the storytelling topped by a wicked soundtrack. Rated: 4/5 Feb 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
